EPISODE 20

How to Turn Pain Into Purpose With the Healing Power of Grief

You aren't healing unless you're grieving.

In this episode, I share my own personal experience with grief, how the difficult passing of my husband, and the scope and severity of my childhood traumas became a catalyst for releasing pain, trauma, and limiting beliefs. I dive deep into the exploration of how transformative and overlooked the power of grief is, revealing how when you fully embrace it you will unlock profound empowerment, peace, freedom, and growth.

Grief is often misunderstood and unfortunately avoided but it is the key to productive inner child work and trauma resolution. By allowing ourselves to truly feel and process grief—not only in moments of loss but also in reverence for our unmet needs and emotional wounds—you will inevitably cultivate greater self-awareness, self-love, and self-healing.

In this episode, you’ll learn what productive grieving is and how it positively rewires our brains for emotional balance and resilience. By embracing your pain and moving through the stages of grief with love and intention, you will free yourself from your past, foster healthier relationships, and expand your capacity for joy. Learn why grief is an essential part of productive and authentic healing and discover how to turn your pain into a liberated path toward your highest self, purpose, and power.
